On this site are recent paintings done in oil. I primarily use a palette knife. I love the thick texture and the happy little mistakes that happen along the creative process.

Kishwaukee Fields ©

Just on the edge of Woodstock, is a really lovely little park.  Nearby you will find the headwaters of the Kishwaukee River.  The river begins as a wetland stream in Woodstock, IL and runs to Rockford, IL where it becomes part of the Rock River.  I chose to paint this small masterpiece during a Woodstock plein air event last spring.
